The 2022 红桃视频 Volunteer Achievement Awards are coming up and nominations are now open. These awards recognise the dedication and the invaluable contribution of the organisation鈥檚 volunteers. This is your opportunity to put someone forward.

Here, the winner of the 2021 Volunteer of the Year award, Kevin Barton ChPP, F红桃视频, shares his thoughts on why nominations for the awards are so important.

What did being nominated for the 红桃视频 Volunteer Achievement Awards mean to you?

鈥淏eing nominated for an award was a defining moment for me. I have never sought recognition for my contribution as I enjoy volunteering and contributing to the profession, but to be recognised by peers is quite humbling. To actually win the award was an honour, given the input from the volunteering community.鈥�

Why is it important for volunteers to be recognised?

鈥満焯沂悠� is a members鈥� organisation and thrives on the input from its volunteers. Volunteers support careers and help shape the profession and therefore recognition is vital to maintain growth. Many volunteers, like myself, don鈥檛 seek recognition and contribute to give something back and be part of something bigger, but whatever the drive, it鈥檚 vital to acknowledge those who give up their time to make the profession what it is.鈥�

What鈥檚 your message to people thinking of nominating?

鈥淛ust do it. Recognising your peers for their contribution to developing the profession and individuals should be rewarded. Don鈥檛 rely on others to make the submission. If you think someone is worthy of recognition, nominate today!鈥�
